TokenEater: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

TokenEater CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from AThevon/TokenEater. It costs 78 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A short pointer to AGENTS.md, the main contributor guide for the TokenEater project. The referenced guide is expected to contain its repository layout, architecture, SwiftUI rules, and build, test, and release commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as the starting point before modifying TokenEater, then read AGENTS.md for the concrete implementation and verification rules.
Why use it?
It directs coding agents to the project’s central instructions instead of leaving them to guess how the app should be changed.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

TokenEater CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

CLAUDE.md

The full contributor and agent guide for this project lives in AGENTS.md: repo layout, architecture and data flow, the hard-won SwiftUI rules, and the build / test / release commands.

The import below loads it so Claude Code reads the same instructions every other agent gets from AGENTS.md.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
